Lyrics
Deliver Us
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Our enemy, our captor is no pharaoh on the Nile
Our toil is neither mud nor brick nor sand
Our ankles bear no calluses from chains, yet Lord, we're bound
Imprisoned here, we dwell in our own land
Deliver us, deliver us
Oh Yahweh, hear our cry
And gather us beneath your wings tonight
Our sins they are more numerous than all the lambs we slay
These shackles they were made with our own hands
Our toil is our atonement and our freedom yours to give
So Yahweh, break your silence if you can
Chorus
'Jerusalem, Jerusalem
How often I have longed
To gather you beneath my gentle wings'
